recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.
let's say we have two trains, A and B, A is going at 85 mph and B at 65 mph.
they are 210 miles apart and moving toward each other, at some point they will meet, when that happens, the faster train A has covered say d miles, and the slower B has covered then the slack from 210 and d, namely 210 - d.
When both trains meet, A has covered more miles than B because A is faster, however the time both have been moving, is the same, say t hours.

Please, please give brainliest, it would be greatly appreciated, I only a few more before I advance, thanks!
Original price of the item = $14.95
Price after discount = $13.79
Discount offered = original price - price after discount = 14.95- 13.79 = $1.16
Now let us find the percentage of discount offered.
Percentage discount is given by the formula:
Where MP= Marked price= original price
SP= selling price= price after discount
Percentage discount = 7.759 %
